A High-Volume Injection is a treatment used for chronic tendon pain, particularly around the Achilles tendon, knee (patellar tendon), and sometimes the plantar fascia. It involves injecting a larger-than-usual volume of sterile fluid, usually a mix of saline (salt water), local anaesthetic, and sometimes a small amount of cortisone around the affected tendon. This technique helps separate the tendon from surrounding irritated tissues, reducing pain by calming down nerves and blood vessels that may be contributing to the problem. “Max is a highly trained, responsive, competent, communicative, and caring practitioner and person. He has successfully treated me for the management of knee pain and other arthritic conditions over the last 5-6 years enabling me to live a physically active life. I really cannot recommend Max highly enough.” Helena Davis, 55, Personal Assistant at Royal College of Psychiatrists What our patients say Do I need a High Volume Injection ? You might benefit from a High-Volume Injection if: You’ve had ongoing tendon pain for several months (like Achilles or patellar tendinopathy). You’ve tried other treatments such as rest, physiotherapy, or shockwave therapy with limited success. Your ultrasound scan shows signs of neovascularisation (new blood vessels and nerves growing into the painful area), which is often associated with chronic tendon pain. Our team will carefully assess your condition and history to determine if this is the right treatment for you.

Booking is quick and easy, please see our book appointment page for more details. What is a ganglion cyst? A ganglion cyst is a non-cancerous, jelly-like fluid-filled lump or sac that typically forms near joints or tendons, most commonly in the wrist or hand. However, ganglion cysts can also occur in other areas, such as the ankle or foot. These cysts are generally harmless and are usually firm and round, with a smooth or slightly lumpy surface. They may vary in size, and their size can change over time. Ganglion cysts are often painless, but they can cause discomfort if they press on a nearby nerve. In some cases, the cysts may interfere with joint movement. If the cyst is located near the surface of the skin, it may be visible and felt as a palpable lump. The exact cause of ganglion cysts is not well understood. They may develop as a result of trauma or repetitive stress to a joint, leading to the leakage of synovial fluid and the formation of the cyst In order to ensure that an aspiration and/or injection is the right course of action in your particular case, we offer a free virtual consultation to get a quick picture of your health and the condition you are experiencing, and advise on the best course of action for you. At your appointment we will also carry out a full ultrasound-led diagnosis and assessment to ensure you are receiving the most appropriate treatment and best possible care. “Max is a highly trained, responsive, competent, communicative, and caring practitioner and person. He has successfully treated me for the management of knee pain and other arthritic conditions over the last 5-6 years enabling me to live a physically active life. I really cannot recommend Max highly enough.” Helena Davis, 55, Personal Assistant at Royal College of Psychiatrists What our patients say How do you manage ganglion cysts? In many case, ganglion cysts do not require treatment, especially if they are not causing significant pain or functional limitations. Medical research suggests that approximately 50% of ganglion cysts resolve spontaneously. Our patients typically seek treatment because the pain has an impact on their daily life, or for cosmetic reasons. If treatment is desired, our options may include aspiration (drawing out the fluid with a needle) or corticosteroid injections , or surgical removal. However, recurrence is possible in half of the cases. Aspirations and corticosteroid injection can provide relief from pain associated with ganglion cysts This can make it more comfortable for individuals to engage in daily activities and recreational exercises. Pain is not to be underestimated and when it becomes bad it can become debilitating and lead to depression. A reduction in mobility due to ganglion cysts can also lead to inactivity which can cause further problems, leading to even further inactivity, known as the chronic pain cycle . It is crucial to seek help when you are in pain and not simply try to live with it, as when left unchecked pain can cause gradual deterioration of both mental and physical health. All our treatments include a written report and guidance on moving forward with treating your problem following your injection, so that you can use the opportunity the injection gives to set yourself on a path to better health. We also include a personalised physiotherapy exercise plan wherever appropriate. For more information about cortisone injections and frequently asked questions, see our cortisone injections page . How much do aspiration procedures cost? Our aspiration procedures start at just £200 including initial telephone consultation, diagnostic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided aspiration, written report with care plan and exercise prescription if appropriate. See our fees Do I need to have my ganglion cyst investigated? While ganglion cysts are generally benign, any lump or swelling should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potential causes of the lump. If a ganglion cyst is causing pain or functional limitations, or if the patient is concerned about its appearance, they should seek medical advice for appropriate management. At your virtual consultation and first appointment your clinician will carry out a diagnostic ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, exclude a sinister pathology and explain to you the available treatments. Your clinician All our injection treatments are carried out by our experienced physiotherapist and injection clinician, Maxence Legout. Max has over 15 years experience and holds a senior position in the NHS, where he carries out over 2000 ultrasound-guided injection & procedures every year.

Other treatments for ganglion cyst may includes splinting or surgical management in case of failure to improve with aspiration & injection. Medical research suggests that surgery for ganglion cysts has a lower recurrence rate but a higher rate of complication with longer recovery period and do not provide better pain relief. You can read more information on ganglion cysts here . If you are suffering from a ganglion cyst, a diagnosis from a medical professional is an essential first step in understanding your problem and deciding what is the right course of treatment for you.

Private cortisone injections for tendonitis pain in South London. Understand what types of tendonitis are treatable and how cortisone injections can help. Free consultation. Cortisone Injections for Tendonitis in South London Cortisone injections for tendonitis at our clinic We are a leading cortisone injection clinic offering steroid injections for pain from tendonitis, also known as tendinopathy or tendinosis in medical terms. Steroid injections can bring significant relief from your tendonitis pain and bring you much-needed respite from your condition. We offer private injections at our South London clinic.

Booking is quick and easy, please see our book appointment page for more details. Types of tendonitis that are suitable for cortisone injections Tendonitis is a general term used to describe conditions that affect tendons, the thick, fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones. The term tendinopathy is preferable since tendonitis suggests an underlying inflammation which is not always present and tendinopathy encompasses a range of tendon disorders, including tendonitis and tendinosis. These conditions involve damage, degeneration, or inflammation of the tendons, typically due to overuse, injury, or aging. Tendonitis : Inflammation of a tendon which often occurs as a result of repetitive stress, overuse, or acute injuries. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and tenderness at the site of the affected tendon. The pain is usually aggravated by movement. Tendinosis : Non-inflammatory condition characterized by degeneration of the tendon tissue. It is often associated with chronic overuse and may result in microscopic tears in the tendon. Tendinosis may present with pain, stiffness, and reduced function. Unlike tendonitis, there is not always inflammation. Calcific tendonitis : condition where calcium deposits form in a tendon, leading to inflammation, pain, and potential restriction of movement in the affected joint. It often occurs in the shoulder. Tendinopathy can affect any tendon in the body, but it commonly occurs in the tendons of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. Causes and risk factors usually include repetitive stress or overuse, natural degeneration from age, incorrect or poor technique during physical activities, poor general health and conditioning, smoking or the presence of other condition such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction or inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. In order to ensure injection therapy is the right course of action in your particular case, we offer a free virtual consultation to get a quick picture of your health and the condition you are experiencing, and advise on whether steroid injections are a good course of action for you. At your appointment we will also carry out a full ultrasound-led diagnosis and assessment to ensure you are receiving the most appropriate treatment and best possible care. “Max is a highly trained, responsive, competent, communicative, and caring practitioner and person. He has successfully treated me for the management of knee pain and other arthritic conditions over the last 5-6 years enabling me to live a physically active life. I really cannot recommend Max highly enough.” Helena Davis, 55, Personal Assistant at Royal College of Psychiatrists What our patients say How do cortisone injections help with tendonitis? Cortisone injections can rapidly reduce pain, bringing much-needed relief and increased mobility. If you have found your work or other daily activities involving walking, running, gripping, or anything being hindered by your pain, a steroid injection can allow you the freedom to get back to work and normal life. Pain is not to be underestimated and when it becomes bad it can become debilitating and lead to depression. Pain can also lead to inactivity which can cause further problems such as postural and health issues, leading to even further inactivity, known as the chronic pain cycle . It is crucial to seek help when you are in pain and not simply try to live with it, as when left unchecked pain can cause gradual deterioration of both mental and physical health. The break from pain and other symptoms brought by steroid injections will also allow you to take other actions to proactively combat your problem. In particular, you will be able to follow a physiotherapist-prescribed exercise programme to deal with your condition at the root by stimulating healing of the tendon fibres. It is important you do any exercises your physiotherapist gives you to avoid your problem worsening in the future and potentially leading to more problems further down the line. All our treatments include a written report and guidance on moving forward with treating your problem following your injection, so that you can use the opportunity the injection gives to set yourself on a path to better health. We also include a personalised physiotherapy exercise plan wherever appropriate. For more information about cortisone injections and frequently asked questions, see our cortisone injections page . How much do cortisone injections cost? Our cortisone injections start at just £260 including initial telephone consultation, diagnostic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided injection, written report with care plan and exercise prescription if appropriate. See our fees What tendonitis do you typically treat with injections? Whilst there is no definitive list, tendons disorders that we often see as candidates for injection therapy include: De Quervain tenosynovitis Peroneal tendinopathy Long head of biceps tenosynovitis Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction Tennis elbow & golfer's elbow Rotator cuff tendinopathy Gluteal tendinopathy Plantar fasciitis We offer corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injection depending the type of condition and its location. In all cases, a consultation with a medical professional is crucial in choosing the right course of treatment for your particular case. Are cortisone injections a long-term solution for tendonitis? Corticosteroids have a short term effect (around 3 months) but a common belief is that cortisone injections do not address the underlying causes of your pain and will only stop the symptoms. First of all, your pain has a massive impact on your daily life and any relief, even temporary, can help significantly with your sleep, work or family activities, and as a result, improve your general well being and mental health. Fortunately, simple pathologies, even when causing severe pain, tend to improve overtime and by the time the steroid has stopped working, we expect that your body has healed by itself and the pain won't return. Secondly, the pain free period allowed by steroid injections (up to 3-6 months on average and sometime over 1 year) is a window that will be used to begin further treatment such as a prescribed exercise program or sessions of physiotherapy , in order to address other causative factors for your problems. In some cases steroid injections can also be a permanent solution by stopping chronic inflammation or disrupting your pain signal. More information about pain can be found on our blog . At your virtual consultation and first appointment , your clinician will ask questions and assess you to diagnose your problem and explain to you the options available. This will help you to understand how you can use the respite from pain which a corticosteroid injection provides, to work directly on your problem and provide you with a personalized exercise plan to avoid reliance on injections in the future.

After an acute injury, such as recent repetitive strain or overuse, usually rest, ice, activity modifications and painkilling treatments like over-the-counter medications or gels are often sufficient. Depending on the location, bracing or Supports can provide stability and reduce strain on the affected tendon. Giving the affected tendon some time to recover is often a key component of treatment and fortunately, most tendonitis will resolve naturally overtime. If symptoms do not settle after 6-12 weeks the following treatments can be alternative, complementary or subsequent to cortisone or hyaluronic acid injections . Physiotherapy and exercises is an important aspect of tendon rehabilitation as it modulates pain, helps strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and promote healing with an exercise induced response in collagen turnover, blood flow, anti-inflammatory activity. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) uses shock waves to stimulate healing in the affected tendon. Dry Needling or tendon fenestration is a procedure involving the creation of small openings in a tendon to promote healing. Barbotage for calcific tendonitis which involving the injection and aspiration of fluid into and out of a tendon to remove calcifications. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy involves injecting a concentrated form of the patient's own blood platelets into the tendon to promote healing. There is currently limited evidence to supports its use in regard to costs. Surgery might be necessary for severe cases not responding to conservative management. More information can be found here .

Tennis and golfer’s elbow are common tendinopathies affecting tendons located on outer and inner sides of the elbow (epicondyles). They are commonly referred as epicondylitis or epicondylopathy. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) This is the more common type of epicondylitis which involves tendons of the lateral (outer) epicondyle of the humerus, the bone of the upper arm that forms the elbow joint, and in particular the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon . Despite its name, tennis elbow is not limited to tennis players; it can affect anyone who engages in activities that involve repetitive gripping, wrist extension or vibrating handheld tools. Overuse of the forearm muscles can cause stress of the the tendon attachment at the lateral epicondyle, causing pain and inflammation. Common symptoms include pain on the outer side of the elbow, weakness in the forearm, and difficulty with gripping. More information on tennis elbow can be found here . Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) Golfer's elbow is less common than tennis elbow but has a similar mechanism. It is caused by overuse of the muscles and tendons on the inner side of the forearm, leading to irritation and inflammation at the medial epicondyle. Activities such as golfing, throwing, and repetitive gripping can contribute to this condition. Symptoms include pain on the inner side of the elbow, weakness, and difficulty with certain hand and wrist movements. “Max is a highly trained, responsive, competent, communicative, and caring practitioner and person.

Although “cortisone" is often used as a general term, it refers to a class of hormones called corticosteroids which are natural anti-inflammatory substances produced by the adrenal glands (above the kidneys). We do not actually inject cortisone as per say as it is short acting and less potent, but we use medications of the same family such as Triamcinolone Acetonide, Methylprednisolone or Dexamethasone which last longer and are more effective to manage inflammation, decrease pain, swelling and stiffness. We usually combine these injections with local anaesthetic drugs such as lidocaine , to reduce the discomfort of the injection and limit pain afterward. The main effects of corticosteroids injections are: Anti-Inflammatory Effects where corticosteroids act by inhibiting the production and release of pro-inflammatory substances, such as cytokines and prostaglandins. This helps to reduce the inflammatory response at the site of injection. Suppression of the Immune Response meaning that corticosteroids can dampen an overactive immune response present in some pathologies, which contributes to inflammation and tissue damage. Reduction of Swelling (oedema) and accumulation of fluid in the affected tissues often caused by inflammation. Corticosteroids can help reduce this swelling by stabilizing cell membranes and decreasing the permeability of blood vessels, thereby limiting the leakage of fluids into the tissues. Pain reduction as a secondary effect by reducing inflammation, swelling, and immune response. “Max is a highly trained, responsive, competent, communicative, and caring practitioner and person. He has successfully treated me for the management of knee pain and other arthritic conditions over the last 5-6 years enabling me to live a physically active life. I really cannot recommend Max highly enough.” Helena Davis, 55, Personal Assistant at Royal College of Psychiatrists What our patients say What can be treated with ultrasound guided cortisone injections? Cortisone injections have be used for decades as they are easily available and effective to manage a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Extensive medical research suggests that ultrasound guidance is more effective and decrease the risk of complications. Some of the common conditions that we treat include: Arthritis such as osteoarthritis . Tendon injuries like tendonitis or tendon tears. Nerve conditions and entrapment such as carpal tunnel syndrome , cubital tunnel syndrome or tarsal tunnel syndrome. Ganglion cysts . Bursitis commonly seen in shoulder, elbow, hip and knee pain . How often do I need to have cortisone injections done? The frequency of corticosteroid injections will depends on various factors, including the specific medical condition being treated, previous response to the injections, and individual features. Prior to repeat an injection, we will also consider the severity and chronicity of the condition, the location of the injection, and any potential side effects associated with repeated use. There is no risk of becoming addicted to corticosteroids if you have repeated procedures but there is some evidence that repeated injections may cause further joint degeneration (especially on the knee) or cause tendon damage . In some other conditions like trigger fingers, repeated injection are known to be safe . These side effects are more likely to occur if there are other risks factors (obesity, smoking...) and the need for repeated injection will be assessed on a case by case basis. If further injections are not recommended, we will discuss other alternatives such as hyaluronic acid or Arthrosamid® injections . How much do ultrasound guided cortisone injections cost? Our ultrasound guided injections start from £260 including initial telephone consultation, diagnostic ultrasound, written report with care plan and exercise prescription if appropriate. See our fees Are cortisone injections a long-term solution for my condition? Corticosteroids have a short term effect (around 3 months) but a common belief is that cortisone injections do not address the underlying causes of your pain and will only stop the symptoms. First of all, your pain has a massive impact on your daily life and any relief, even temporary, can help significantly with your sleep, work or family activities, and as a result, improve your general well being and mental health. Fortunately, simple pathologies, even when causing severe pain, tend to improve overtime and by the time the steroid has stopped working, we expect that your body has healed by itself and the pain won't return. Secondly, the pain free period allowed by steroid injections (up to 3-6 months on average and sometime over 1 year) is a window that will be used to begin further treatment such as a prescribed exercise program or sessions of physiotherapy , in order to address other causative factors for your problems. In some cases steroid injections can also be a permanent solution by stopping chronic inflammation or disrupting your pain signal. At your virtual consultation and first appointment , your clinician will ask questions and assess you to diagnose your problem and explain to you the options available. This will help you to understand how you can use the respite from pain which a corticosteroid injection provides, to work directly on your problem and provide you with a personalized exercise plan to avoid reliance on injections in the future. Why should I book my ultrasound guided cortisone injection at Insight MSK?

Fortunately, serious side effects to corticosteroid injections are rare and reactions are generally mild and short-lived. but like any drug or medical intervention there are risks such as anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic reaction, which is extremely rare in response to injected steroid or local anaesthetics), infection (1 out of 50 000 patients), but more likely to occur if you suffer from diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic Kidney Disease, HIV or if you take intra venous drugs. Less serious reaction can occur such as a temporary increased pain (20% of the cases), cosmetic changes to the skin including depigmentation or localized fat atrophy around the injection site, bruising around the injection site (more likely, if you are on blood thinning medications), tendon rupture, increased cartilage degeneration, numbness or tingling, abnormal vaginal bleeding, temporary facial flushing, mood disturbances or depression (if you or your family have a history of psychosis or bipolar disorders) and of course failure to work. Your clinician is trained to recognise and deal with severe immediate reaction and we are equipped with the appropriate first aid equipment. To minimise risks of side effects we advise rest for 48h (including driving for lower limb procedures) and you will be asked to wait up to 20 minutes in the waiting area. We encourage you to communicate any concerns with us to ensure a comfortable and informative experience. Can I have a cortisone injection while I am pregnant or breastfeeding? Cortisone injections during breastfeeding is safe. No side effects on breastfed infant has never been reported for any corticosteroids. The amount of drug passing through the breast milk is very small and will no cause any harm to your baby. However, reduced maternal milk production has been reported. More information can be accessed on the Breastfeeding Network or the Drugs & Lactation database (LactMed®). Of course we will always weigh benefits against potential risks, considering factors like the specific condition being treated, and the overall health of the mother and baby. As with any treatment, the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration is preferred. Pregnant women are often subject to various musculoskeletal conditions which are commonly well managed with cortisone injections such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, De Quervain Tenosynovitis or sacroiliitis. Corticosteroids are known to cross the placenta with systemic administration such as oral or intravascular drugs. However there is little support that it increases any developmental defect on the baby. Despite non-systemic corticosteroids, which means drugs not reaching the entire body circulation such as cortisone injections inside a joint, are not considered absolute contraindication by recent medical research , we do not offer injections during pregnancy. If you are suffering from a MSK condition during your pregnancy, a diagnosis from a medical professional is an essential first step in understanding your problem and understanding what is the right course of treatment for you since effective alternative management can be offered.

Pain can have considerable social and economical impacts by interfering with one's ability to work and carry out usual activities. It can also affect interactions and relationships. What does my pain mean? Pain can occur for a variety of reasons, and its mechanisms are highly complexes. Pain also has different type of presentation and can be described with a variety of terms. Check our page blog to learn more about the functioning of physical pain as well as the British pain society website . It can be very difficult to understand the reason of a certain type of pain without a professional assessment. Various types of pain in the same body part can mean different things and have different origins. As demonstrated below, a variety of conditions can cause pain. These conditions involve joints, muscles, nerves and tendons and can be extremely debilitating and overwhelming. Should I wait for the pain to go away by itself? If you're experiencing pain, it's generally a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Pain can be a signal that something might be wrong, and it could be important to understand the underlying cause. In some cases, pain may be temporary and resolves on its own. Over the counter analgesia such as paracetamol can help for mild to moderate pain. Relative rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) can also be helpful for minor injuries. However, persistent or severe pain may require medical attention. Ignoring or waiting too long to address certain types of pain could potentially lead to further complications. If you're unsure about what to do, contact us so we can evaluate your specific situation, provide a proper diagnosis, and recommend an appropriate course of action. How long should I wait if I am in pain before seeking treatment? The decision on when to seek advice for pain depends on various factors, including the severity and duration of the pain, as well as any accompanying symptoms. Ultimately, if you're unsure or concerned about your pain, it's better to consult with a healthcare professional sooner rather than later. Insight MSK can help determine the cause of the pain and recommend appropriate treatment options. Ignoring persistent or severe pain may lead to complications or delayed treatment of underlying issues. When do I need surgery? Surgery may be recommended for various conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other parts of the musculoskeletal system. The decision to undergo surgery is typically based on the severity of the condition, the extent of symptoms, and the response to conservative treatments. It's important to note that surgery is often considered after other less invasive treatment options have been explored. Always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action for your musculoskeletal condition. Should I still contact you if I am not sure what is happening? Absolutely. If you're uncertain about your condition, experiencing persistent symptoms, or have concerns about your health, it's always a good idea to contact a healthcare professional. It's important not to ignore symptoms or delay seeking medical advice, especially if you're unsure about what might be causing your discomfort. Early intervention and proper medical guidance can often lead to better outcomes and prevent potential complications. If your symptoms are severe or if you experience a medical emergency, don't hesitate to seek immediate medical attention and call 999. How can I know if you can help with my condition? Contacting us is always going to be helpful. The most important thing we do is help assess your symptoms, and offer guidance on the appropriate course of action whether or not it is with our service.
